_____ by Bastet

Clitoris awakens as mouth of river Amazon, the longest
river, hurdles down the slope of a body. . .a body
that is open like Tea Tree, mint and cool, susceptible
to flicks, and licks, tic------tac, slip, lap, sweat
raining from breasts and nipples that are bursting and
heavy clouds, hips that are rolling hills, soft
bellies that whirlpool lips into escaping oblivion,
poems reiterated like repetitious prayers to she who
is loved can do no harm, or no good. Make words become
the sense of touch. Understanding. A slow safari of
sensual death.
